Stalo sa prvého septembra (alebo inokedy) / It Happened on the First of September (Or Some Other Time)

This historical novel covering the years from 1938 to 1968 tells the story of three friends who compete for the love of the same woman. Their individual stories are unsteady little boats in the turbulent storm of historical events: the Munich Agreement, the Vienna Awards, World War II, anti-Jewish legislation, the German occupation, the arrival of Soviet troops at the end of the war, the post-war expulsions, the communist putsch of February 1948, the 1950s political show trials, the 1968 reform movement and the Soviet invasion of August 1968. It Happened on the First of September  (Or Some Other Time) is a novel about love and how far it was possible under the powers-that-be.
